I have a dead animal in between an exterior and interior wall and it smells awful. The interior wall is wood paneling. What can we do about finding the animal or eliminating the odor and how long does an odor from a dead rat or squirrel last? Please help! Thank you.

first the animal dies and stinks

then the maggots come and spread the stink

then the maggots die and stink all over.

I would start looking for the source and rip the wall open. If it stinks for a week, it isn't drying out very quickly. gross
